Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct and clearly separate domain: building permits, federal contract opportunities, and healthcare providers. There is no overlap in functionality or purpose.
All three tools follow the same 'search_<domain>' naming pattern, making them predictable and easy to understand. The convention is consistent throughout.
With only three tools, the set is small but well-scoped for the specific data sources it covers. Each tool serves a clear, valuable purpose without unnecessary bloat.
Despite the server name 'US Government Data' implying broad coverage, it only provides access to three narrow datasets (building permits from select cities, federal contracts, and healthcare providers). Many major government data categories are missing, such as census, federal spending, or regulations.
